T.G. Sheppard - Do You Wanna Go to Heaven Lyrics

It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten
And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head and I hear them now and then

He said, â€½Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
â€½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â€
And I said, â€½Yeah just lead me onâ€

It was the hottest night of summer
And our final high school dance were just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
But the preacher's words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in

She said, â€½Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
â€½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â€
And I said, â€½Yeah just lead me onâ€

It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin' at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win
Now I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
Wen she whispered, come on in

She said, â€½Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
â€½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â€
And I said, â€½Yeah just lead me onâ€

She said, â€½Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
â€½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â€
And I said, â€½Yeah just lead me onâ€
